Email service disruption
The issues affecting email messages sent to Cumberland Council have now been resolved, and we are receiving emails as normal.
Caring for other people
If you look after someone who couldn’t manage without your help, you may be a carer. Telling us means we can offer you support.
Get support as a parent carer
If you care for a child or young person under 25 with additional support needs, you may be entitled to extra help.
This includes:
- practical support
- emotional help
- financial advice
Parent carers assessment
A parent carers assessment looks at what support you need in your caring role.
Your needs should also be considered when planning care for your child. This can include:
- employment
- training and education
- leisure activities
- maintaining relationships and family life
How to request an assessment
Parent carers can self-refer.
Contact your local carers organisation:
You can also contact Adult social care via the Single Point of Access (SPA) team.
